Accommodation in Val Thorens: Self-Catering

Self-catering apartments in Val Thorens are available in professionally run tourist résidences (see the apartments page), through estate agents, and direct from private owners.

Apartments

The apartments page has information about every résidence in Val Thorens, with photos and descriptions, and a location map.

There are quality apartments in well-established résidences such as Montana, Les Balcons de Val Thorens and Montagnettes, and in new luxury developments, like le Hameau de Kashmir, Oxalys and Koh-i-Nor. Another is the Sabot de Venus, with eleven large, luxury apartments in the centre of resort.

Towards the budget end of the market, noise and big groups of students can be issues. Amongst the better bets are the Chamois d'Or and the Cheval Blanc.

Estate Agencies

To rent a privately-owned apartment, often at a cheaper price, try one of the estate agencies, such as Agence La Cime, or Val Thorens Immobilier.

They manage a large number of private apartments which they let on behalf of the owners. They are usually in résidences hosting a mixture of owner-occupiers, season workers, and holidaymakers.

Privately-owned Apartments - Tourist Office

The tourist office used to produce a list of privately-owned apartments for rent, with owners' contact details, so you could get in touch with them directly.

Unfortunately, they seem to have stopped doing this, but the privately-owned apartments are on a web page instead.

See the page of privately-owned apartments.

Luxury Chalet la Datcha

New in Winter 2016-17, la Datcha is a luxury chalet at the foot of the Plein Sud piste, and close to the centre of resort. It is part of the Datcha collection, a business venture started by Oleg Tinkoff, the Russian billionaire who owned the Tinkoff cycling team. 

La Datcha can accommodate 15 people in luxurious surroundings. Facilities at the chalet include an activity room for children, amusement arcade, two cinemas, gym, pool, whirlpool, sauna, library, business centre, and cigar room.

Prices are per week for the whole chalet, and at the time of writing they start from €59,000. The wine list doesn't have any prices on it, which would worry me.

Whatever Val Thorens accommodation you choose, I wish you a pleasant stay!
